Nous reviendrons
Pros:

Très bon accueil par un Monsieur vers 20 heures gentillesse, politesse et discrétion.
Un. Superbe petit déjeuner dans une très jolie salle.

Cons:

Le ton, parfois un petit peu comminatoire et un chouïa désagréable de la gouvernante d’origine Europe, de lest.

Je recommande l’exceptionnel restaurant du cheval Blanc, juste à côté de l’hôtel pour le dîner. Car l’hôtel ne fait pas de service de Restaurant, en tout cas le soir
